My Dad would of turned 60 years old today.....instead of celebrating with him, we are going to celebrate him and all he was to us in his short 56 years of life..............my Dad's birthday was never a big deal to him......we always tried to make it a big deal though.....birthdays are always special around here............ so, this is just a small tribute to my Dad......a person I will never stop missing and oh, how I wish things were different......how I wish you were still here with us, celebrating with us, letting my kids get to know you better, instead of me having to tell them about you, giving them the memories they won't have on their own but, sharing my memories with them. Lindsey recently said to me, "I wish Papa was still here...",,,,I said to her, "me too" and she says, " I can't remember his voice...." made my heart melt.......you always wonder what makes them think of things at that particular moment. Not too long ago too... Lindsey again, gives me a BIG hug-(no big deal normally, she is a very huggie girl.) and she says to me, " This is from Papa, he told me to give you this." I wonder what special Angel was talking to her....
Dad, I love you and I miss you with all of my heart.......Happy 60th Birthday!
It's been a while.

Melanie,
There are days that seem to go by and I had not stopped to think of Mark and then there are days that I never stop thinking of him. I can't believe I forgot what day it was today. I feel sad I missed his birthday yesterday and did not call you or your mom or even Chris for that matter. As he is in Boston.. But I can still hear your Dads voice in my head I can still hear his laughter too. I can see him in front of me just like it was yesterday. I miss him so much. my son will never know his grandpa but how blessed we are to have such a loving family to tell him all about his papa. I know that Lindsey hears him and has a special connection with him. She is so sweet, and so in tuned with this spiritual world. Luck girl! I hope she never out grows it. Thank you Mel, for such a beautiful posting a reminder of a life that was so beautiful a start to so many more lives. So many more shinning stars.
I love you
Lisa
We thought of Mark on Saturday. It was the twins birthday. We will always think of him too on their shared day. He was a great uncle to me. I sure love him and I miss him too. I love all you guys out there in Cali. Tell Lindsey to give you a hug from me too... and a hug for all your guys!!!
